Meant to Kill Him.

Paris cable: Just as the perform
ance OF "L'Arlesienne" was about to
begin at the Odeon theater, the d.
rector came forward and claimed in
diligence for NJ. Marquet, who was to act
the role OF "Frederic," as he had been
the victim OF an accident. The audi
ence was satisfied and the play COM
menced. M. Marquet, however, seemed
to be laboring under terrible nervous
excitement. 1t seems Marquet's wife,
an actress, suspected her husband OF
infidelity and traced him to the apart
ments OF Mile. Sarah Velanoff, pupil
of the Conservatorie, Rue Colin.
where, in company with half dozen
friends, Nj. Marquet had taken tea,
when suddenly the door Of Mile Velan.
offs salon opened. and Nine Marquet,
without n word of warning, fired seven
shots at her husband. The first ball
clipped off the lett side OF his mus
tache, the second grazed his head, the
third ball made q hole through his
trousers, tearing out n piece OF flesh
from. his thigh. the fourth broke a
China teapot into smithereens, the
fifth struck large Venetian mirror,
the sixth disappeared in q Turkish
divan, and the seventh and last ball
landed plump in Marquet's right
shoulder. Nine. Marquet tainted
away and was captured easily by a
squad oil police.

Land Speculation in caIifor-

please talk about land specula-
tions in the West" They amuse US
old settlers very much. Your one
lunged' immigrants from the East
come out and buy land for 81, 500, to
1000 per acre, expecting to live on
raising oranges ana pomegranates IN
the land where these fruits are indigo
nous. Our people have been etarving
trying to raise them. In San Bernar.
dino and Santa Barbara Counties
and in Los Angeles we have the most
absurd land speculation possible.

a ELOODLESS MAN.
The Most Remarkable Physical Phc-
nomenon on Record.


not many miles from Berlin there lives o
man who, II what report says OF him be true.
is certainly one OF the most remarkable phc-
nomena On record. The papers state as a
positive fact that he has no blood in his veins,
aud that a committee of the leading phys-
clans aud scientists have declared their inabil-
ity TO account for this extraordinary circum-
stance. The man Is corporal in the German
army and goes by the name OF Otto Schreiber
He himself was quite unconscious OF his
bloodless condition until two months ago
when he fought duel with fellow-soldIer
His opponent ran his sword through his body
without, however, drawing any blood aud the
sspatientn seemed not bit the worse. Inc
man was so taken by SURPRISE that Otto had
no trouble In killing him. Since that time
the comrades OF the corporal have been care
ful not TO tread on his toes, aud on no consld-
Grafton to accept a challenge from him. He
xas submitted TO a severe test ut medical
institute In Berlin. A knife was thrust into
his mouth, the point coming out at the back
Of the neck. Not drop OF blood was spilled,
and Otto felt no pain during the operation.
The gentlemen who examined him are now
fulIv convinced that there are many things u
heaven and earth that they never dreamed Of.

''Much goes on in the navy" said q

mand an explanation. Preslan prompt

Wright. and NJ. Connos. the local agent
of the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
and placed them in the 'calaboose.'
Then he sent word to Capt. Kane
that at the first gun the Galena fired, or
the first marine or sailor she landed. he
would execute the. prisoners. They
were kept in the 'oalaboose' all night,
expecting to be shot in the morning.
In the morning Prestan came to them
and told Judd that if he would sign an
agreement that the arms on board the
Colon would be delivered up he would
let them all 90.
Judd did so and Prestan released his
prisoners Judd returned on board the
Galena and told what he bad done.
But meantime Capt. Kane had driven
the Dagos off the Colon and towed her
out into the stream. When Capt Kane
learned what Judd had done he said the
arms should not be delivered to Pres
tan. Now. Judd had purchased his life
by signing the agreement that they
would be, so he Immediately returned
ashore and told Prestan that he could
not keep his compact.
'.Prestan Immediately put him in the
'calaboose' again. and the next morning
took him out to Monkey Hill to be shot
Before Judd's grave was dug. however,
Col. Ulloa came dashing up with the
government troops, and in the fight
Judd escaped and went on board the
Galena
1T was then that Capt Kane landed
his men. and Judd went with them,
eager for revenge. That day the hor-
rible massacre and the burning of Colon
took place. and all day Judd fought
bravely. But for two nights and three
days his mind had been under the
most terrible strain and his reason gave
way.

putting himself in the power of Prestan,
when he found he could not keep the
promises to him by which he had pur-

went back he went to almost certain
death, and he knew it But he went

Bartholdis colossal statue of s.Liber-
~ Enlightening the World is to be re-
garded not merely as personal gift of
French citizens or the outcome of indi-
vidual impulse. but as popular token
of the unbroken friendship of the French
nation for the United States during the
latter's first century of existence and an
earnest of the continuance of that
friendship in the future. France is the
only nation to which the United States
owes q distinct debt of gratitude, and
the graceful sentiment of fraternity
which impelled her To conceive and
carry out the idea of commemorative

tation unique in the history of man

The Bartholdi statue of liberty is the
most gigantic production of the sculp-
tors chisel that has ever been execut-
ed Beside it all the famous statues of
ancient and medieval times sink into
insignificance. 1t weighs in all 450. 600

I51 feet | inch. Its total height above

inches. aud it towers high above any

An idea of the immensity of the sta
tues proportions NAV be formed from
the following dimensions of its com
ponent parts: The fore finger is s feet

Prices in Paris.

The Englishman who makes it q
matter of recreation to run over to Paris
twice season is beginning to fret
against the rapacity of the Frenchmen
with whom, in the matter of meat and
drink, he has to deal. He buys old
books. often at bargain; he does not
buy much bric-a-brac in Paris, but eat
he must and the prices demanded of
him, simply because he falters in his
French. render him rebellious. Still he
is AN amiable fellow He dislikes a
struggle. and even if disposed to strug-
gle his treacherous accent reminds him
that he is not at home. He may bend
his brows over the abnormal size of his
addition" but he puts his hand into
his pocket and pays it, after all, and
that is all the Frenchman cares for.
The Partisan setting out to buy looks
critically at everything. He then de-
mands the price of several articles in
which he has no interest whatever. and
finally swooping down upon the object
of his desires, ''et cap he askes- On
learning the price he whistles polite

saws. "Mais non, monsieur" urges

insinuates. ..Ah, oui, c'est lie dernier
prix; ce nest pas cher" The voice OF
the merchant is dignified but reproach-
full. ..Eh bienI' says the Partisan,
''bonjour. monsieur" The merchant
allows the Partisan to get SO far away
that he is sure that he is really going
and that he will not come back. Then
cautiously the merchant puts his head
out of his door and calls him: ''Pst

and names his price; he does not take a

definite answer. He knows what he il

Cropping DOGS, Ears.

Sir Edwin Landseer one of the Judges
mt the dog-show in London. England.
endeavored to exclude all dogs that had
been nutilated by ear-cropping and
otherwise. The principal reason for Sir
Edwin's protest is that the cropping of
ears is most cruel and hurtful to the
dog. The cruelty complained of is not
in the operation-that. after all, il a
small matter. 1t consists in deprIving
the animal of a defense which nature
has Civ, it against the entrance of
earth and sand into the ears. The en-
trance of these inio the ears distress the
dogs much. causing deafness. assesses.
and cancer. All dogs. more or less. re-
quire to be protected from sand and
earth by overlapping ears; but especial
ly do terriers. literally ''earih dogs
the species which, of all others. is most
persecuIed by cropping They go into
burrow. their ears get full of sand,
aud they suffer ever afterward. Surely
Sir Edwin Landseer is right in saying
that judi res of dogs ought not to sane
ton such treatment of the animal. and
that the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals should look to the
practice. The only excuse that can be
set up for this system is delusive one.
1t Is said that lighting dogs fare better
with their ears cropped. and the exigen
cies of fighting dogs have set the fash
ION for all others. 1t is true that if an
ear be gone it can not be torn, but then
it is for often that even for fighting pur-
poses the ear is often protection. All
these fighting dogs have what are
called points" One has his way of
seizing the leg. another fixes upon the
throat, and yet another makes dash
at the large gland behind the ear,
which in the dog is as sensitive as the
most sensitive gland in the human
body. Deprive the dog of his ear and
the assailant can get a good bite IA
it and lay his adversary low. Leave the
dog his car and the assailant's grasp of
the sensitive gland is impeded by the
folds of the ear and rendered much
more feeble. Thus, even to the fight
ing-dog the long ear is a positive de-
fense.-Nes0 Orleans ifcdyuHe.

Wof7d. The remainder was apprcpri-
ated by congress. Ground was broken
for the foundation in April, 1888, and
it was completed in April, 1885 The
pedestal was completed late in the
spring of the present year. The first
rivet was driven on the statue July 12,
1885.
The statue itself represents an outlay
of more than 1000. 600 francs. 1t IS
made of sheets of beaten copper fixed on
pylonic iron trusswork, which serves
as support for the shell-like covering.
The copper plates are kept in shape by
iron bands, and supported by iron
braces. which are clamped on the CEN
trail core. They do not bear in the least
on the lower plates, and their weight is
always independent of all that is above
and below Exhaustive mathematical
calculations were made upon the resist
ing power of the iron pieces, upon the
center Of gravity, and upon the actions
of high winds. The calculations were
made by taking as base the most DOW
erful hurricanes which have been re-
corded in America or Europe The cop
per plates are two and one-half nilli-
meters in thickness. The copper plat
ing of the statue of ST. Charles Borro-
meo is only one millimeter thick. and it
has stood for two centuries.
